The further and continuing adventures of the girl who sat in the back of your homeroom, reading and daydreaming.

G'Mornin'

I'm off to the dentist at 0MG700 this morning, so a long-form blog post is Right Out until maybe later. Oh, the price of fame and a childhood spent enjoying sugary snacks.

One quick note, the aerator on the kitchen sink failed; I asked Tam to pick up a new one at Winthrop Supply (motto: "Yeah, we've got that."). $1.67 and it's hugely better than the old one ever was! Best plumbing supply place in town and not too far to bicycle to. Made of Win. Also, they have a Store Cat.

Y'know, I am just about Temperance these days -- 'druther be so of my own volition than let the frikkin' prohibitionists force it on me. There's a move afoot to cut the DUI limit in Indiana in half again, achieving by degrees what the WCTU was unable to maintain by legislative force.

JC: I had been, I had been -- along with occasionally disassemble, removal of hard-water "rocks" and reassembly. But this time, the aerator literally blew out, spat the innards almost clean outta the shell, and when cleaned and reassembled, did it again. For a buck and three bits? I'll just replace. Life is too short for self-destructing faucets.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."
